https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Et5B-zfAIIo This ‘making of’ of Burial’s Untrue takes me way back. Soundforge, Fruity Loops and Wavelab – loved them. What they couldn’t do and what was hard to do with them was were the creative process started for me. Took me years to realize and accept it and not see it as failure and deficiency…

Isn’t it sweet that Google Photos shows me this picture when I search for selfies of mine on my haunted Android machine?! Last weekend the great IMPAKT Festival took place. I sadly had neither time nor cash to be there so I’m really thankful that there was a livestream and I am slowly starting to…

Me too. “If all the women who have been sexually harassed or assaulted wrote “Me too” as a status, we might give people a sense of the magnitude of the problem. Please copy/paste.” #YesAllWomen —– The #metoo hashtag started by Alyssa Milano is making the rounds on social media, now in the heat of…

Swiss Army Man is a long bromantic fart joke going serious and we get to witness that not even death can stop bros from connecting over a woman’s rejection. It also is a fragile, funny and beautiful film.

I am currently celebrating the end of 2016 by having got stuck in a bingewatching hole that is quite soothing and well-deserved after last week’s stress, so no false shame here. Here’s what I’ve seen so far: The Return of Doctor Mysterio was a nice one. Maybe a tad too family friendly. It is not…

I’ll be doing a little bar djing after Claus Baumann’s talk about LeFebvre’s “Right to the city” and Adorno’s “Duty to deprovincialize” at our beloved Zentralcafé Nürnberg tonight. Whilst picking songs I have made this quick topical mix. CITY BELONGS TO US Tracklist: Freddy Ruppert – To hell with this whole damn city Des Ark…
